The light from the people is always bright 1 world-weary chapter

The lower half of their knives fell to the ground—Chu Yan cut off their knives with a sword strike.

The two guards were petrified.

Passers-by did not dare to continue walking.

Some girls are now watching closely from a distance, staring at Chu Yan in a daze.

Chu Yan said: "I don't want to say the same thing a third time—if I say it a third time, it won't necessarily be what it is!"

"Okay! Okay! I'll pass it on!" A guard threw down the half knife in his hand and said in panic.

"Go!" Chu Yan was extremely impatient.

"Yes! Yes... yes..." The two guards quickly ran back to the courtyard. Not long after, a bloated middle-aged man came out. He was quite handsome, but he was too fat, which made people feel disgusted. .

"You are the county magistrate here?!" Chu Yan questioned in a tone that seemed to be pressing.

"Yes, where did the unruly people come from, dare to make trouble at the gate of my mansion, it's really boring, but you have defeated the guards in my mansion, you are also a person with some skills, tell me, I will listen to your sophistry. "

"You collect ten buckets of grain every year as tax?!"

"Yes. How? You can control it?!"

"You force people who can't pay taxes to mortgage their houses?!"

"Yes." The county magistrate's attitude became more and more impatient.

"Then you know that the tax collection stipulated by the imperial court is five dou."

"I know. Three questions, now I don't have much patience, hurry up!"

"Oh? I'm leaving?!" Chu Yan suddenly became eccentric, which was not his usual style.

"Hurry up! It's hindering my mood!"

Chu Yan unhurriedly took out a token and said, "Let me go? Do you recognize this?!"

"What would I recognize as a troublesome thing?! Get lost!"

"The former emperor personally appointed the regent and grand tutor, Chu Yan Chu Ziqing, do you have any last words?!"

"Damn, come, take this lunatic down for me! Drive him out of Changwen City!"

"The county magistrate is so courageous! How can this Regent's token be fake?!" Chu Yan said in extreme annoyance.

The county magistrate looked back impatiently, but was stunned—the token was shining brightly in the sun, and the inlaid jade was also authentic Hetian jade, it was indeed...the token was not fake.

The county magistrate knelt down immediately, and said: "It's the fault of the lower officials. The lower officials have eyes but don't know Mount Tai, and they are far away..."

"So do you admit to those crimes just now?!"

"…………"

"I'm asking you something!"

"……recognize……"

"Then you are also responsible for my father's death?!"

"You mean...Chu Jin?"

"Yes." Chu Yan gritted the word between his teeth.

"He didn't pay enough taxes. He was beaten to death by two servants in the lower official's mansion. It has nothing to do with the lower official..."

"You really chose yourself very cleanly!" Chu Yan got angry and slammed Ye Qing on the ground, and a deep ditch appeared at the gate of the government office.

"It's the villain who didn't discipline his subordinates well, it's the villain's fault."

"Where are the two yamen servants?!"

"If you beat someone to death, the lower officials can't just sit idly by and have already sent them home..."

"Oh?! Really?! Where is his house then?! I'll ask myself!"

"No...I don't know!"

"When recruiting yamen servants, they will have their names, addresses and dismissal records. Bring the booklet!"

"…………"

"Go!"

"The lower officials have no records...!"

"Oh?! Then should you bear the crime of disregarding human life?!" Chu Yan knew that he was afraid that the two yamen servants would tell the truth, so no matter what he said, Chu Yan would say it was his. Question——If Chu Yan was as stupid as he thought, he wouldn't be able to experience eight years in the court.

"His Royal Highness Regent...His Royal Highness Prince Regent...For the sake of my seniors and juniors, please let me go. I am also forced to collect more taxes due to helplessness..."

"Enough! You, who are you listening to?!" Chu Yan pointed to the yamen servant next to him and questioned.

"Listen to...His Royal Highness the Regent..." They would adapt accordingly.

"Take him down! The county magistrate of Changwen City has become corrupt and careless about human life. He will be brought back to the capital at another day and handed over to Dali Temple for interrogation...I will interrogate myself!"

"Yes... yes." A group of yamen servants didn't know what to do and who to listen to, but they still felt that it would be better to listen to the regent.

The two guards took the county magistrate of Changwen City under arrest. It is not safe to put him in the prison of the government office, and the county magistrate is likely to escape. Therefore, Chu Yan personally put a new lock on him and locked him in the dungeon for heavy prisoners in the government office. .

It was getting dark, Chu Yan locked the lock, turned around and left the mansion, got on his horse, and prepared to go home.

It's easy to hide with open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows. I don't know how much the yamen servant received from the county magistrate, so he just replaced it with a new knife. He raised the knife and slashed at Chu Yan. Chu Yan was already on guard against them, so he raised Ye Qing to turn over. Get off the horse and pull out the night engine.

The cold sword is unsheathed, and the knife breaks people to death.

The two yamen servants have already laid their dead bodies on the street. Assassinating the regent is a capital crime. At most, it is a success. No one knows that they did it. If they fail, they will die.

In this life, Chu Yan was supposed to be a delicate scholar, but his Ye Qing was still stained with blood.

Chu Yan dragged the bodies of the two yamen servants back to the government office, fearing to scare the passing people.Then he turned around, got on his horse and galloped home.

When I woke up, it was already the third day back home. Mrs. Yu had already prepared breakfast and was waiting for Chu Yan to eat. Chu Yan usually got up very early, and he was tired from running around these days, so he slept more for a while.

Chu Yan got up, saw Yu's busy figure, and asked, "What is mother busy with?"

"Aren't you leaving tomorrow? I'll bring you something..."

"Mother, come with me and go back to the capital. It's very good there and no one will bully you."

"No, you are the majestic regent, I will cause you trouble if I go..."

"How could it be, I'll tell His Majesty to buy a mansion..."

"No need," Yu interrupted him, "I'm old, I can't bear the bumps, the road is so far, my body can't bear it..."

"...Then... I'm leaving tomorrow..."

"Well, have a good day today!"

"Yeah." Chu Yan seems to have returned to his childhood. At that time, his parents were both there, his father taught him how to behave, and his mother taught him poetry, books, piano and chess...

"Hurry up and eat, it'll be cold later." Mrs. Yu always cared so much about him, and they haven't seen each other for nine years. The family love is still there, and it will never disappear.

At this time, Chu Yan was just like Gu Chen when Chu Yan was cooking for Gu Chen in the East Palace, very obedient, even a little...too obedient...

I'm going back to Beijing tomorrow, my future is uncertain, and my fate is different...

Not yet known...

The author says:

How many A's are there in this chapter of Chu Yan in the Little Theater:

Chu Yan: The former emperor personally named the Regent and Taifu, Chu Yan Chu Ziqing, do you have any last words? !

Mo Mo: Yan Yanzi is so good today, he loves Liao and loves Liao~

Gu Chen: Mo Mo, go away, this is my wife, not yours!

Momo: …………… (cursing, swearing like a shrew)

(The above is just for fun, Momo is not fierce~)

24. Return to Beijing

◎Chu Yan escorted the culprit who killed his father back to Beijing～◎

It was time to return to Beijing today. Chu Yan was really reluctant to part with Mrs. Yu and wanted to take her away, but Mrs. Yu was afraid of dragging Chu Yan down and refused to go back with him.

Chu Yan went to the government prison, found two government servants and a prison car, and took the county magistrate out of the government prison, preparing to escort him back to Beijing.

"You two, hurry up!" Chu Yan said to the two yamen servants, "Why, my county magistrate is reluctant?"

"No...no..." The two yamen servants were afraid of Chu Yan, not only because of his status as the regent, but also because of the way he got angry. Crushed into ashes, peeled and cramped.

The county magistrate knew that there was absolutely no way for his fate to turn around again, and no one would dare to come to save him. After all, the wall fell down and everyone pushed, who would dare to save a person who killed the regent's father...

Naturally, no one dared to save...

Chu Yan asked the two yamen servants to drive the prison cart ahead, fearing that something would happen if they followed him, so he followed on horseback.

"Aren't you going to hurry up?! We're going to the capital within the next day!" Chu Yan roared as he watched the yamen servants driving the prison cart walk more and more slowly.

"Yes, yes... yes..." The two yamen servants bowed their heads and admitted their mistake with winking eyes.

They hurried on, and at night, they arrived in the Mobei area, not far from the capital.

"Spend the night here today, and set off immediately tomorrow morning. I advise you not to play any tricks, or you will know the consequences." Chu Yan took Yeqing and stroked the sword back and forth twice, and then, He glanced fiercely at the two yamen servants.

The two yamen servants happened to be greedy for life and afraid of death, so they quickly agreed.

The county magistrate sitting in the prison car was already hungry. He watched Chu Yan and the two yamen servants eating the dry food they brought during the day, swallowed, but said nothing, turned his head away, and leaned his back against the cage fell asleep.

It was very cold at night, Chu Yan brought a cloak and put it on his body. The two servants leaned together, tied to a tree by Chu Yan, and they didn't dare to move...

They spent the night like this...

At dawn on the second day, Chu Yan woke up the two yamen servants and untied them. The three continued to drive to the capital at high speed, and finally arrived in the afternoon of the same day.

Chu Yan didn't know how much trouble the little emperor could make during the five days he was away, and it was at a time when he was in a state of desperation that he had to interrogate the county magistrate of Changwen City...

When Chu Yan arrived at the palace, he went to the Taihuan Palace immediately, found Gu Chen, and asked, "Your Majesty, has something happened in the court during the few days when I'm not here? Is there something important happening?"
